I honestly love this book so much. It's not just the grovel, it's the whole world and its lore these characters are inhabiting. It only gets better with each reread as I pick up in different threads. 

Now, Killian Kelly is a brute, but there is so much context to his actions and in the grand scheme of these books his rejection has a lot more context than some of the others. Una is amazing and so very obviously in charge. Her dignity throughout is fantastic and I love them both so much.

I enjoyed this book more on a second read. Some of the omniverse tropes are a bit cringy, but I adore a hero who gets possessive and grovels for his wallflower. 

This series does a great job with the concept of the wolves being a distinct alternate personality.

It's cool that Killian is trying to be less sexist but it would be cooler if he didn't need a woman he wants to have sex with to make him realize it's a problem. Other than that very meh on the plot, the characters in general, and especially their relationship with each other.

I laughed so much, but also felt feelings.  Killian J’s so dumb, but he ended up being the endearing kind of dumb.  Una was very much a girl crush.  She deserves every good thing and I love her.  I want to see all her girls fall in love (though I am a bit worried about Mari’s age gap situation), especially Kennedy.  Kennedy was my favorite of the side characters.

 Content Warnings: Sexual situations, ableism, violence, sexism, misogyny, sexual assault, sexual harassment, child abuse, transphobia, toxic relationships, and domestic violence.
Mention of: rape, death of parents, murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, eugenics [in the form of killing anyone considered weak or "damaged", and captivity.

I instantly liked Una and her personality and wanted to punch Killian where it hurts 😤

The pack history was interesting, angering but interesting...and you don't find many shifter books where mated pairs sleep with other people...so that was something I wasn't expecting.

Loved that Una constantly challenged Killian and didn't back down from his BS...which was A LOT. haha Really wish he'd done more groveling tbh 😤

Overall it was a fun read and I'll most likely be checking out the rest of the series 💜

Das ist so ein Buch, das man liest, weil ein Bagger das Glasfaserkabel beschädigt hat und die ganze Stadt ohne Fernseher, Internet, oder Telefon dasteht, so dass man das einzige Buch, das ungelesen auf dem Tablet ist, lesen muss, und es ist zufällig dieses hier, auch wenn es voll furchtbar ist, aber man hat keine Wahl * **

* Diese Geschichte beruht auf einer wahren Begebenheit

** WTF für ne Scheiße habe ich hier lesen müssen ***

*** Das einzige HEA hier wäre, wenn Werwolfjäger alles plattmachen würden und anschließend die Asche salzen

This book had absolutely NO BUSINESS BEING THIS GOOD.

This title, this cover, this concept? None of it looks like a book I would like and yet - I stayed up way past my bedtime finishing it. The pacing is great and the characters are so so so realistic (lol yes, I am saying that about wolf shifters, fated mates, magic and uhhhh…knots). 

Anyway, if you need me I’ll be busy making this series my whole personality.

👍🏻Recommended!! If you love groveling and modern fantasy with gripping plots and incredible tension? This is for you.

Here's the thing, I usually don't care for wolf shifter pack or books with alphas. I try them every year and they just fall flat for me. But this author, seems to make me at least like genres (like biker romance) that I would normally avoid. So with that in mind this is the best wolf shifter pack with a temperamental alpha and fated mate story I have ever read. I still don't love this genre, but this book was pretty good. 
Hope that makes sense.
